Elemental Summoner 1, D. Levesque [ereader android TXT] 📗

that humans think that way?” I question. There must be a reason behind all this.

Nodding, Leeha replies, “It comes from the last Elemental Summoner. They are not always human. Well, the last Summoner over a thousand years ago was. But before that, it was an Elf. And thanks to that Elven Summoner, the Elves were the more powerful race. Stronger than the humans,” she says.

“But we still lived in harmony with all other races, even the humans. The human Summoner, though, changed all that. He destroyed the Elven Nations and cast us out of society. Not only that, he also made it so that any relations with us was a death warrant. He changed the mindset of all the humans and made them believe that to have anything to do with us was the same as doing it with animals,” she finishes bitterly.

“And since they brought the Elves down, all other races were added to the mix?” I ask her softly, seeing where this was going.

Nodding, Leeha says softly, “Correct. Now humans are the most powerful race on Boromour.”

“Is it because there are more of them?” I ask her.

Leeha shakes her head and sneers, “No. We Elves are more plentiful than the humans.”

“Then what makes them more powerful than you Elves now?” I ask her.

Lying back on the rock, the Macoa eaten and only bones left on her plate, she says, “They are organized, and they work together. Once, we Elves were a people who prided ourselves on working together, even with other races. Now?” Leeha looks back at me. “We are a disbanded race who try to survive on crumbs.”

Fucking hell. We humans are shit, aren’t we? Even on my world we’re shitty to each other, and here we have humans that are shitty to other non-human races. I would not be surprised to find out we are shitty to our own race here too. I put my empty bird carcass down and lie back as well. Leeha hesitantly leans into me, but to show her that I do like her and am not revolted, in case she is still worried even after that kiss, I put my arm over her shoulder and bring her closer to me.

“Is it safe here at night?” I ask her, as it’s now gotten pretty dark, and the only light is from the fire.

“I am not sure. I have not camped here in ages,” Leeha says, sounding sleepy.

“Where are we anyhow?” I ask her, looking around, trying to penetrate the darkness.

“We are in the Mital Forest, which borders the human lands of Prithgar to the east. Just south is the City of Lomar, which is where I was going to seek work,” Leeha mumbles into the side of my chest.

Damn, she must be tired, even with the forced one-hour nap I made her take. I should be also, but I am wired. It must be because I am on a new world, with new surroundings, and I found out that I can use magic using English words as the trigger.

I hold up my left hand and think Earth, and a globe of dirt is floating in my hand. But as I look closer, I see it’s not a solid piece of dirt. Inside I can see dirt, small rocks, and even green grass seeds. I look around our campsite, and the only wall I see is really the large rock, more of a large boulder, that we are leaning against. We aren’t even protected from rain or wind, I think, as I feel a gust of wind blow in my face and see it fanning the flames of the fire.

Leeha’s breathing has changed and I don’t want to wake her, so I need to do this quietly. I place my hand on the ground and imagine a wall around our campsite, with spikes sticking out of it. Spike Wall, the words come to my mind. Suddenly I feel slight vibrations around us. The ground rises slowly, and within five minutes, exactly what I had envisioned surrounds me. A rock wall, about five feet tall, topped by spikes that are angled outwards.

I look up at the night sky, and it appears cloudy. So I place my hand on the boulder behind me and think Rock Protection, and slowly a rock shelf grows out of the boulder and over my head until it and our fire is protected. I also picture two stone pillars to hold the weight up at the corners near the fire, and they slowly grow out of the ground.

Fucking hell, this magic shit is powerful! The magic users in this world must be formidable. I mean, I saw what Leeha could do with her water blades. I wonder how other mages? Magi? I will go with mages for now. I wonder how other mages create things?

Satisfied with our protection, I lean forward with Leeha in my arm, and grab a large log of wood and throw it into the fire, causing the fire to flare up and embers to go flying all over the place. Settling back down with Leeha still sleeping in my arm, I notice that I am finally tired, actually. I lean my head against Leeha’s as a cushion, close my eyes, and slowly drift off to sleep before I know it.

“Alex!” Leeha shouts in a panic.

I open my eyes, expecting some bear, wolf, or monster to be attacking us, but it’s just us at our campsite. The fire is mostly embers now, but it’s light out, so we shouldn’t need it.

I glance at Leeha and she is staring around in a panic. Not sure what is going on, I ask her, “What? What’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong?” she asks me, seeming overwhelmed with fear. “We are trapped! Earth mages-” Yes! I was right, mages-“must have surrounded us during the night. With a wall like this, I would say there were at least ten of them working quietly overnight for hours to build this trap.”

“What?” I ask her,
